28、s.No river flows into the playa, though rainwater sometimes fills part of it to a depth of a few inches.Its when this happens, and the nights are below freezing and the days are fine, that the rocks may “sail”， the researchers said.On those occasions, the cold night air leaves a sheet (薄片) of ice on
29、ly an eighth of an inch thick.Then the warmth of the sun causes the sheet to break up.As more ice melts (融化), some of these lesser sheets have room to move.Driven by light winds, the sheets push up against rocks.The wind drives the water, too, which also helps push the ice to some degree. The moveme
